Overview

An info broker with an obsessive amount of general knowledge, John-Doe holds a middling position in the Seattle hierarchy as the head of an independent detective agency that serves as a front for a much seedier business. A household name in the underbelly of the Emerald City, John-Doe is the go-to guy for the latest news, rumors, and general activity in the criminal underworld.

GM Notes

• John-Doe grew up on the etiquette of back-stabbing, two-timing, scheming and serving few people but himself. He enjoys Shadowrunners because they provide him with a good amount of entertainment and while he won’t go out of his way to screw his clients over- one should instill a healthy amount of mischief in his character. He might try and sway a runner into investigating something more dangerous than usual, so long as he can hear about the outcome. He will always be a little devil on your shoulder, feeding into bad ideas and impulses for the sake of shaking the hornet’s nest and seeing what comes out of it.

• While he’s got a solid name for himself, he falls just short of upper-echelon and thus can rarely spare the nuyen for frivolous expenditures and luxuries. He’s a sucker for high-life goods, like real, fresh sushi, high grade alcohol, or.. Occasionally… Blackmail on various aristocrats.

• Despite his wide network of informants, John-Doe has few friends to call his own due to his conniving and capricious nature. He’s secretly rather lonely, and maliciously copes with this by gently provoking the runners he works with. If someone expresses various forms of weakness while on the line with him- John-Doe will purposely taunt the person to attempt and get them riled up about whatever mission their on.

Aspects Description

Aspect	Description
Curiosity Killed the Cat	Often sticking his nose where it doesn’t belong has occasionally landed John-Doe in hot water. The GM rolls a 1d6 in secret, on a 1 John-Doe is entirely unavailable due to a need to go into hiding for a week.
Not Touching That With A 300-Foot Pole…	Messing with a dragon in specific is a good way to end up a smear in its ash-tray. John-Doe will absolutely never look into information about any dragon that is currently alive and if he finds information relating to one on a run he will refuse to disclose said information to the runners.
Home-field Advantage	John-Doe, being born and raised in the Emerald City, has had plenty of time over the course of his life to stick his fingers in a lot of pies. His people update him quite frequently on regular happenings within city limits. +2 to Knowledge checks relating to Seattle itself.
History Buff	When knowledge is power, keeping up-to-date on the history of the world can be a powerful boon. John-Doe spends a large portion of his time studying even niche locations, and if he doesn’t already know it- he’ll know where to find it. +2 to Knowledge checks regarding the history of the player’s given area.
Corporate Snoop	Everyone knows the best secrets are kept by those with the most control, John-Doe has a penchant for figuring out whispers and rumors circulating around various organizations. +2 to Knowledge checks for information on current inner-workings of a given corp
Snob of “Mythic” Proportions	One of John-Doe’s biggest obsessions is mythology and folk-lore from all sides of the world. If you’re hearing about it, there’s a chance he’s read about it. +2 to Knowledge checks regarding mythology and folk-lore
Honorary Member	John-Doe’s ability to provide information has been useful to a number of Gangs in the area, and thus he’s heard a great deal of drek both useful and not from gangers all about Seattle. +2 to Knowledge Checks regarding Gangs in the Seattle Area
Matrix Expert	John-Doe has always had a natural, non-magical aptitude and affinity for the matrix. It’s his favorite method of gathering intel and also his preferred method of operation and communication. He knows it in and out, like the back of his hand, and can easily educate you on threats, areas of interest, and it’s messy history. +2 to Knowledge checks regarding the matrix.
